Hello, Arknights

"Nice to meet you again, Miss Sakta." Ling Dengxian twisted his fingers. The blue marks left on his cold fingertips by the stripes on the shopping basket lingered for a long time. The numbness in his hands gave Ling Dengxian a headache.

"Oh? Now you know that I'm a Sakota?" The blue-haired girl smiled slightly, but there was not much surprise in her eyes.

"No, I just guessed. It's either Sakota or Sarkaz." Ling Dengxian could see that the girl didn't care. To be honest, he and this girl had only met a few times, but he felt a subtle sense of familiarity, as well as a sense of distance that could not be approached.

Although it is different from telecommunications fraud in essence, he still cares about it. He always feels that people who are difficult to guess are the most troublesome to get along with.

"Ah, then you are lucky to have guessed it right." The girl nodded with the same smile, and then asked, "Are you guys having a day off today?"

"No, I just have other work to do." Ling Dengxian sighed, then turned around to look at a certain Liberi who seemed to be very curious and almost couldn't hold back, and quickly reminded her in a low voice: "Lorna, pay attention, are you going to the park or not?"

"I still have to go...but——"

"Sister Sakota, your hair is so beautiful. Why do you have horns on your head? My former classmate Sakota who learned cooking didn't have horns or a tail. And what are you carrying? A staff? So you are a warlock? Can you make a fireball--" Lorna, who had just started to "show off her power", was blocked behind by Ling Dengxian and A'ran. It seemed that they had failed to keep a close eye on her and let her speak. They knew how unreliable she was, but they still took chances.

"You've been traveling for so long, haven't you ever seen a fireball made by someone?" Ling Dengxian couldn't help but want to hit her but his hands were busy. A'ran raised her hand and tugged at the corner of Lorna's clothes, signaling her to pay attention to her image.

"There's no chance to observe it up close!" Lorna said confidently.

"What an enthusiastic junior from Liberi..." The blue-haired girl raised her lips a little, but a hint of worry flashed in her azure eyes. After a slight hesitation, she tapped Ling Dengxian's shoulder, who was looking back and glaring at Lorna: "Come here."

"Ah? A'ran, keep an eye on her, I'll be there soon." Ling Dengxian hesitated for a moment and warned Lorna with his eyes, then walked a little further away from the strange-looking Sakota girl, looking back every few steps.

He was somewhat helpless, as it was normal for the girl to ask him to move away in this relationship. If the situation was reversed, it would be very strange. Yes, the Sakota girl leading him out of the wilderness did occupy a higher commanding position in his psychological interpersonal relationship than himself, but Ling Dengxian just hated the feeling of not being able to grasp the initiative.

Don't get me wrong, he doesn't mean to have full control over interpersonal relationships, he just feels more comfortable if they are more equal.

The girl lowered her hand and touched the staff, then smiled softly: "I won't beat around the bush, there's something wrong with that Liberi girl."

"Ah?" Ling Dengxian quickly looked back and saw that the two people were not far away from them.

"Don't worry, they can't hear you." The blue-haired Sakota girl blinked her left eye. Ling Dengxian vaguely understood that this might be another strange Originium skill of the Terra people.

"What do you mean?" Ling Dengxian was confused. Based on his limited understanding of the girl, she didn't seem like the type to meddle in other people's private affairs.

"That child... must be a little lonely, but she can't stand loneliness by nature." The girl put away her smile, but her expression was not serious. "This is probably a bit sick. If possible, please tell her family."

"Or you can make her realize this yourself." The girl put on her signature smile again.

"How could that be? Miss Lorna doesn't look like that. She's probably just too lively. Even if... this doesn't seem to be within my area of ​​expertise or job scope." Ling Dengxian's answer was a bit confusing.

"You actually put your expertise and work scope together as your first reaction..." The girl coughed lightly, then turned her gaze away from the girl from Liberi and looked at Ling Dengxian again with a deep look in her eyes. "But you seem to be able to do something. You have a good personality. But then again, you seem to be hiding something. This is a bit unexpected."

"..." Ling Dengxian tried his best to cast a simple doubtful look, silently thinking about what Fengpi said in his heart instead of thinking about the dream.

Ling Dengxian, you already know that is a one-sided idea, those impulses will not make you better!

"Sometimes, you can only be 'reborn' (Latlan language) after you truly accept it." Hearing the unfamiliar words, Ling Dengxian's eyes calmed down. Unexpectedly, he could guess the meaning of the word.

"……Thanks."

"Well, bye~" The blue-haired girl was still smiling, but she seemed much more charming. Ling Dengxian took a deep breath, picked up the basket and walked towards the two people who were waiting for him, and said in a clear voice: "I'm back."

Mostima, do you want to help that Liberian girl... or are you just taking this opportunity to warn that boy?

Mastema stroked his staff gently, and a familiar sound of footsteps came from behind him: "You meet again?"

"Why are you so alert? I'm not telling him the secret." Mostima's mouth curled up involuntarily.

Liberi, who had pink hair at the roots and red tips, had a gloomy expression on his face. "Well, putting aside the fact that I'm your supervisor, I have to punish you for putting chili peppers in my scale balls again today!"

"Hey~"

A girl with white hair and red eyes was sitting by the lake in the park in a daze. She heard a noise beside her and turned her head. The white-haired Carters raised his head and "saw" her.

"Hello?" A'ran seemed to be stuck in it and was stunned for a moment before he greeted cautiously.

"...Yeah." The girl nodded blankly. Then she took out a basket from behind her back, searched for a suitable long grass leaf nearby, dipped the basket into the lake water, and tied it to the shore.

"There are scales in the basket?" The Agor girl was stunned again.

"Ah...it's hard to explain...we have to stay in the park for a while, and we can't let them suffocate to death." A'ran felt a little embarrassed.

"You are so awesome." The girl seemed to be exclaiming.

"Ok?"

"You can't see it, but it's so flexible."

"Not really, I just have some special tricks." A'ran smiled implicitly, feeling a little embarrassed by the compliments.

"Oh, right."

"what happened?"

"Have you seen any large monsters here recently?" The Agor girl asked this very naturally, without realizing how wrong this question was.

Ah Ran, who also did not feel anything was wrong, just "looked" at her calmly and spoke softly:

"No, there will be no monsters in this mobile city."

"Yes." The Agor girl looked at the big sword beside her.

"Maybe." A'ran smiled, "I'm leaving first. Don't tell others there are scales here."

"..." The Agor girl looked quietly at the scales swimming in the basket. The lake was very big, but were they really in the lake?

Skadi still hasn't found the bounty target.

"Tobrand. We are finally here. Is this the last mobile city that needs to be checked for hidden dangers, sir?" Kilai was exhausted after hearing this and nodded slightly:

“I hope it will go as smoothly as the previous cities.”
